The Coin Company is proud to present 2021 20c Mungo Footprint Uncirculated Coin produced by The Royal Australian Mint

The Mungo footprint, in the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage Area, are the oldest preserved footprint ever found in Australia and the largest set of ice age footprint in the world. The Royal Australian Mint celebrates these precious glimpses into our past with this striking design available as both a 2021 $1 Fine Silver Proof Coin and 2021 20c Uncirculated Coin.

Twenty thousand years ago a family group walked across the soft claypan of an ancient drying lake bed. A few days later a number of hunters ran across the area chasing game. Finally, and most remarkably, an individual 'hopped' across the claypan leaving a single line of right footprints. These three journeys or stories have been captured forever in the petrified clay of the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage Area, and are known as the Mungo footprint.

2021 20c Mungo Footprint Uncirculated Coin has a limited mintage of 20,000 coins
